(b) A sodium vapor lamp is placed at the center of a large sphere that absorbs all the light reaching it. The rate at which the lamp emits energy is 80 W; assume that the emission is entirely at a wavelength of 380 nm. Evaluate the rate at which the photon is absorbed by the lamp. Take, Planck Constant h = 6.63 x 10-34 J.S Speed of light c = 3.00 x 108m/s
The cosmic background radiation is blackbody radiation from a source at a temperature of 2.73 K. (a) Use Wien’s law to determine the wavelength at which this radiation has its maximum intensity. (b) In what part of theelectromagnetic spectrum is the peak of the distribution?
(a) For a black body, the temperature and the wavelength of emission maximum, Amax, are related AT= T = ( 1 ) ²₂ by Wien's law, , where c₂ = hc/k. (i) Write a simplified Wien's law expression in a form of an equation of straight line, (i.e., y = mx + c). (ii) Identify an independent variable and the slope/gradient from (i) above. (iii) Values of Amax from a small pinhole in an electrically heated container were determined at a series of temperatures, and the results are given below. Draw a graph and deduce a value for Planck's constant. T(°C) 1000 Amax(nm) 2181 1500 1600 2000 1240 2500 1035 3000 878 3500 763
